Air Fryer Taco Bombs wrap seasoned ground beef and cheddar inside eight portions of refrigerated biscuit dough. The sealed rounds turn crisp and golden at 350°F while the measured cheese melts into the taco filling.
The recipe yields exactly 8 bombs in 23 minutes, with 15 minutes of preparation and 8 minutes of cooking. Cool the cooked meat slightly before filling, pinch every seam completely closed, and leave space between the bombs in the basket.
Air Fryer Taco Bomb Ingredients
The ingredient list contains one can refrigerated biscuit dough, 1 pound ground beef, 1 packet taco seasoning, and exactly 24 small cheddar cheese cubes. A standard eight-biscuit can supports the listed yield of 8 taco bombs.
Light nonstick spray or parchment is used only to prepare the basket. Salsa, sour cream, or another favorite dipping sauce may be served alongside, but none belongs inside the written four-ingredient filling.
